The Sleeper Scenario: Terrorism-Support Laws And The Demands Of Prevention, Robert Chesney
The Sleeper Scenario: Terrorism-Support Laws And The Demands Of Prevention, Robert Chesney
Bobby Chesney
This article provides a comprehensive overview of the law prohibiting the provision of material support to designated foreign terrorist organizations (as well as two related statutes).

A balance between anti-terror legislation and civil liberties must be struck. The United States’ “financial war on terror,” following the attacks on September 11, 2001, has had negative consequences for global philanthropy.

Affirming The Ban On Harsh Interrogation, Mary Ellen O'Connell

Beginning in 2002, lawyers for the Bush Administration began producing the now infamous legal memoranda on the subject of interrogation. The memoranda advise interrogators that they can torture people without fear of prosecution in connection with the so-called global war on terror. Much has been and will be written about the expedient and erroneous legal analysis of the memos. One issue at risk of being overlooked, however, because the memos emphasize torture, is that the United States must respect limits far short of torture in the conduct of interrogations. The United States may not use any form of coercion against …
